The Mexico national football team, led by Javier Aguirre, achieved a historic win over South Korea at the Estadio Guadalajara, advancing to the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup with a game to spare.

As time goes on, Mexico can break the curse that prevents them from advancing beyond that instance since 1986.
